Great set! The only thing that compare to a Loxia's landscape rendering are it's architecture rendering.

A7RIV, Loxia 25mm
Thanks! My only complaint with the 25 is the distortion, even corrected with a lens profile, sometimes bothers me in certain situations. Digital correction fixes distortion along the x and y axis, but not z of course. It's most noticeable on near objects remaining a bit bulbous, and diagonal lines of depth retaining a slight curve.
To be fair, I'm coming from using the Hasselblad 903SWC and Mamiya 7II 50mm (about a 24mm field of view), both wide angles that use biogon designs with imperceptible distortion. There's something magical about those lenses.
The Loxia 25 is still the least distorted of all the 24 and 25mm options I've found on digital, and I really like the Zeiss rendition of light. I've only used the 25 for landscape a tiny bit, and I definitely plan to use it for more.
I'm eager to try the Loxia 35mm for its biogon design and lack of distortion, since most of what I shoot is architectural, using small apertures.
